The more than two hundred Heavenly Kingdom soldiers in Taibaiding were not brought over from the south by Shi Dakai, but an army that was dispersed after the failure of the Heavenly Kingdom's Northern Expedition. At that time, General Liu Lang, the greybeard, had the highest status among these soldiers. During the melee, he even took a large number of soldiers from the Northern Expedition and fled deep into the Taihang Mountains to hide, waiting for the Kingdom of Heaven to make another Northern Expedition.
As a result, Graybeard and the others did not wait for the arrival of the Northern Expeditionary Army, but instead waited for their old boss, Wing King Shi Dakai, who had faked his death and concealed his name.
At that time, the Northern Expeditionary Army were all the elites of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom. They attacked cities and villages along the way, opened warehouses, released grain, killed corrupt officials and tyrannical gentry, and accumulated a large amount of military resources. Not only did they have a large amount of gold and silver, but many of them were rare treasures, such as pearls. Jade, jade, agate, and all kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings are also available.
What is now presented in front of Xiao Letian is a huge glittering golden mountain. The floor is full of exquisitely made gold, silver, and jade articles. A coral tree over a foot high is leaning against the corner. Handfuls of pearls are pouring down on the ground and rolling around. The scrolls of calligraphy and painting in the porcelain jar in the corner are definitely not Ordinary product. Update as soon as possible
"There are military supplies brought by Liu Lang and the others, as well as treasures that I secretly transferred from the south. I secretly established thirteen such holy treasuries in the Qing Dynasty..." Shi Dakai seemed to be talking about someone else's family. The property is the same, and the tone is as plain as water.
"Because the property needs to be transferred secretly across mountains and ridges, we have to give up things like silver and copper coins. The current holy treasury is the essence of the old heavenly kingdom's holy treasury. Every treasure can be said to be priceless... It's just a pity. It’s too difficult to cash in…”
Shi Dakai opened a picture of Tang Bohu's erotic painting and said with a sneer, "Those rich men in the south of the Yangtze River love to admire vulgar paintings like Tang Bohu's. If it weren't for some money, I would have burned them long ago..." After that, he threw it to the corner.
Ouch, I feel so sorry for you. You are a moral gentleman but I am not. Brother, I just love this. Xiao Letian quickly took Tang Bohu's original work into his hands. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at this painter. Is it true that double sex was already popular in the Ming Dynasty?" Is the one pushing from behind a maid or a concubine?
When Xiao Letian was deeply immersed in the fantasy of Ming Dynasty's urban life, Shi Dakai pushed him: "Strategic advisor! Military advisor? Let me ask you, what treasure are you going to bring down the mountain?"
"Ah? Oh... That's it. Your Majesty should know something about the market price of these treasures. Help me find some that are easy to carry and worth close to 110,000 taels. I want to take them down the mountain. After saying that, he said it smoothly He casually handed the erotic scroll to the soldier who was waiting for him, "This painting is good, I like it, please put it in my study..."
Ahem, cough, cough, Shi Dakai was so anxious that he didn't choke to death on his saliva. He thought to himself, are all people overseas so free to do as they please? Even if you want an unrefined painting like Erotica, you have to tell me secretly. Why do you want it so carelessly in front of the soldiers? This is too disrespectful of reputation.
Sure enough, foreigners overseas eat raw beef and don't know how to cultivate themselves. If this doesn't work, I will definitely advise the military advisors more not to be overly greedy for beauty at such a young age.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty?" This time it was Xiao Letian's turn to push him, "Huh? Ah... I'm sorry, Xiao Wang lost his temper... Let me think carefully about the treasure you want.
"Things like antique calligraphy and paintings are indeed very valuable, but only knowledgeable people will pay a lot of money to buy them. It's not easy to sell them quickly. Now let's think of something like gold, jewelry, and jade..."
Xiao Letian and Shi Dakai spent a full hour selecting in the treasure house, and finally, under the protection of three soldiers arranged by Shi Dakai, they hurried to Yi County. Update as soon as possible
From Taibaiding to Yixian County, it would take two days even if traveling lightly. Xiao Letian went straight to Yixian County with the fake pigtails prepared for him by the village and the forged identity documents.
When Xiao Letian arrived at Yixian County, it was already the evening of the next day. Two smoky-faced veterans at the west gate of the city had already begun to drive away the last people entering and exiting the city. The city gate was about to be closed.
"Oh, the city gate is about to close, we have to hurry up..." Xiao Letian is definitely an entry-level equestrian. He talks about running fast, but he still comes in last place after running around.
The three soldiers Xiao Letian brought out were all elites selected by Shi Dakai. They were not only skilled in bow and horse, but also smart, and most importantly, they were all literate. The young man in the lead was named Xiao Hexin. When he saw that the city gate was about to close, he quickly galvanized his horse and rushed to the front.
The scene of the tall horses charging at full speed was indeed shocking. The horse's hooves as big as bowls trampled on the official road and the dust flew up. Villagers who got closer felt that the ground was shaking, and they were so frightened that they hurried away.
The two old soldiers looked back and were shocked. If it weren't for the fact that there were only four horses, they would have thought that the county town was under attack. "Who is coming? Didn't you see that the city gate is closed? Hurry to the city." I'll wait for tomorrow at the tavern..." Before he could finish his words, Huang Chengcheng saw two strings of copper coins tumbling and flying over, blocking his mouth immediately.
Xiao Letian saw that Xiao Hexin did not even get off his horse, but leaned forward and whispered a few words to the two veterans, and then the city gate, which had been closed to only a crack, opened again. This time, even if Xiao Letian swaggered past the two veterans, no one asked him any nonsense. Update as soon as possible
It wasn't until the four of them turned the corner that Xiao Lecai asked in a low voice, "Didn't the Qing Dynasty always check the road signs? It seems that the four of us are not people with honors, so he let us in so easily?" "Xiao Letian's question is reasonable. In ancient times, unless you were famous, you couldn't leave your hometown easily. No one would care about you when you were wandering around in your own county. Once you need to cross states and counties, you must I need to go to the county government office to get a road guide.
Xiao Letian remembered that before leaving, the copywriter on the mountain forged a road guide for the four of them, but just now he took it out without looking at Xiao He's letter.
"Hi...my good sir, aren't all the rules in this world made for ordinary people who have no money and no power? The road guide system is an iron law for those ordinary people, but..." Xiao Hexin took a picture He patted the bulging money bag on his waist and said with a smile, "If you have money, do you still need to talk about the king's laws? This rotten Qing Dynasty should have died long ago..."
Xiao Letian was stunned at the time. He didn't expect Xiao Hexin to be so bold and dare to say such treasonous things on the street? But when he looked around, he saw that the few people on the street all had numb faces, as if they had been destroyed by life and turned into puppets. Such people didn't care what others said. Please come to more and faster chapters.
"Don't worry, sir. Have you seen the big pot in front? That is our prince's eyes and ears in the county. This street has long been our territory..."
When I walked to the front of the store, there was a plaque with the words "Erliang Shaoguo Restaurant" written on it. Before I even entered the door, the waiter had already opened the curtain and bowed to salute, "Four old customers, we invite you upstairs..." Don't mention this voice. Be more angry, the enthusiasm revealed from inside and outside is not comparable to the eight-toothed fake smile of the hostess in star hotels in the past.
The fact that an ordinary big pot restaurant can be opened into a small two-story building already shows that the owner is wealthy. It seems that the Heavenly Intelligence Department has sufficient funds! Xiao Letian carried his robe and went upstairs. As soon as he entered the private room and took his seat, the shopkeeper and the waiter from the hotpot restaurant followed him. Without saying anything, he knelt down and kowtowed.
"Greetings to the military advisor...Greetings to the prince..." The fat shopkeeper lowered his voice and kowtowed three times. Then he waved his hand and the food he had prepared in advance was served. Seven plates and eight bowls were filled to the table.
"Don't be surprised, military advisor. I just received a message from the copycat Flying Pigeon at noon yesterday. I was pressed for time and didn't prepare anything good. I only managed to get a pair of black bear paws into my eyes last month..." As he spoke, a large porcelain plate was brought up. , a pair of steaming steamed bear paws were served directly to the table.
Xiao Letian was dumbfounded at the time. This evil feudal dynasty actually had no animal protection laws? It is so unfortunate that this poor black bear was reincarnated into this dynasty. Updated as soon as possible Although Xiao Letian was pissed off in his heart, the drool at the corner of his mouth and the greedy look in his eyes betrayed him. Although he had eaten many high-end dishes in his previous life, he was not able to tolerate the most delicacy of all, bear paws.
"Brother Bear! Brother Bear, don't blame me if I eat a pair of your palms. When I take power, I will be the first to promulgate animal protection laws, and I will be the first to protect you..." As he spoke, Xiao Letian picked up the tender bear meat with chopsticks. Just the entrance.
Everyone in the village knew that Xiao Letian loved to play tricks. Xiao Hexin and the others had seen him when he was talking about storytelling, and they also knew that the military advisor loved to say a few weird words that no one could understand. For example, the curse word "your sister" has become a buzzword on Taibaiding. Once people open their mouths when they have some minor conflicts, they will hear the words "your sister".
Xiao Hexin and the others had long been used to it, but the fat shopkeeper and the waiter had never seen it before. They thought that the black bear paws, which had been carefully soaked for a day and night and simmered for half a day with wild ginseng and pigeon soup, were not to the taste of the military advisor. At that time, sweat broke out on the fat shopkeeper's forehead.
No wonder he misunderstood, Xiao Letian had closed his eyes now, with an extremely strange expression on his face, as if he was about to have a stomachache.
It's delicious, your sister's is so delicious. This gelatin-filled mouthfeel lingered in his throat with a strange aroma that he had never experienced before. At that moment, Xiao Letian felt that his tongue was wrapped in a strong aroma of gelatin, as if it was about to melt with this delicious taste. Same.
For three full minutes, Xiao Letian didn't come back to his senses at all. When he opened his eyes again, he found that the fat shopkeeper was kneeling on the ground again, sweating profusely, begging him for forgiveness.
"Don't be surprised, military advisor. I will definitely get a white bear's paw for the military advisor next time, and the last time I will get an authentic black bear's paw from Cat Dong in the old forests of Northeast China. Today's time is really too tight..."
"Ah?" Xiao Letian was dumbfounded at the time. I was just thinking about it. Why did you kneel down? etc! From what you say, the bear paws I eat are not the most delicious, but there are actually better ones? Darling, people say that materials were scarce in ancient times. In fact, that was only for the poor. For the rich, the feudal dynasty was paradise.
In the late Qing Dynasty, the concept of hierarchy was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even Shi Dakai only ate and lived with the officers and soldiers during the war. During the period of cultivation without fighting, Shi Dakai's life was extremely luxurious.
In the eyes of ancient people, a person who can be crowned king is already an out-of-reach heavenly being. Xiao Letian can be on an equal footing with King Yi. It goes without saying that his status is noble. In the eyes of the fat shopkeeper, with a pair of ordinary caravans To be honest, it is really rude to treat the black bear paws that are sold.
When I heard that the military advisor was not angry at all, the fat shopkeeper was so moved that he almost cried, "The military advisor is really kind-hearted. Poor Yi County is a small town. It's too late to transfer goods from Baoding. Military advisor, don't worry. I will send a fast horse from Baoding tomorrow." There is a table full of Bazhen's dishes.
In Xiao Letian's eyes, he really has no idea what the so-called Shang Bazhen Banquet is like. At this time, his attention has been focused on the courtyard wall across the street outside the window. After Xiao Hexin's introduction, there is The Fan family's Guangde address is a branch in Yi County, where Shopkeeper Fan and Huniu live.
While Xiao Letian was eating and drinking and thinking about how to go to see Shopkeeper Fan tomorrow, the sky was completely dark, and according to foreigners' time, it was already around eight-thirty.
Just as the corner of Xiao Letian's eye glanced across the darkness across the street, a surprising figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Two figures actually came out of the wall in the backyard of the Guangde No. 1. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be two women.
"Your sister? Isn't this Hu Niu and A Chou..."
